Why choose a coloured umbrella?

The colored umbrella to brighten your day

Colored umbrellas may not be the stuff of happiness, but there's no denying that they do generate good cheer... You've no doubt noticed the "skies" of multicolored umbrellas that are blooming more and more frequently above the streets? These ephemeral installations that amaze passers-by, young and old, leave no one indifferent.

Clearly, a colorful umbrella is good for morale. This reassuring bubble of color rhymes with a positive attitude. We now know that colors influence our state of mind, so why not play them up? As joie de vivre is infectious, it's an excellent reason to be inspired by colorful umbrella designs!

A colorful umbrella to match your outfit... or the mood of the day

Gloomy weather doesn't mean you can't look on the bright side of life, or have a certain vision of elegance. Depending on the mood of the day, you may be tempted to brave the elements with panache, or to blend harmoniously into the landscape, but always with style.

To achieve this in style, there's the colorful umbrella. Elegant and inspiring, simply coordinate it with your look or use it in your favorite color to make it the key element of your outfit. Whether in bold contrast or discreet monochrome, the colored umbrella adds that little something extra that makes all the difference and becomes much more than a practical accessory. Plain, printed or embroidered with your initials, in bright or subdued hues, they offer a multitude of possibilities for seeing life in color! A delight to be savored alone, or as a duo, depending on the size of the umbrella, while you wait for the sun to return...

Le Parapluie de Cherbourg invites you to explore the world of multicolored umbrellas, with luxurious models in all the colors of the rainbow.

Why choose black?

Which color to choose?

Flowers have their own language, so why not colored umbrellas? Here's a quick overview to help you make the right choice...

The blue umbrella, a classic that inspires serenity

Colors from the blue range evoke the sky and sea in all their nuances. Peaceful and timeless, this hue is an easy-to-match classic. Blue is also one of the most serene of all colors.

For all models in the Le Parapluie de Cherbourg collection, blue comes in navy and ocean. These two essential shades are joined by cobalt blue and sky blue for the Milady models (which also come in a collector's version of navy blue moire), as well as the Demoiselle, Ville, Voyageur and Antibourrasque models.

Blue is featured in a navy version through several collaborations (Élysée, Bleuet de France, Inès de la Fressange, Marine Nationale, Saint-James) but also in a denim spirit, with a sublime sky-blue denim umbrella created with the 1083 brand.

The green umbrella, vitality and the spirit of nature

In tune with activities such as golf or a walk in the woods, green is the color of hope and, of course, the color that symbolizes nature. Very much in vogue, the color green can be combined with a classic look as well as a bold, modern one. The Milady, Demoiselle, Palace, Ville, Voyageur, Antibourrasque, Golf, Sport, Pébroque and Milord models are available in English green. For the Intemporel, Le Parapluie de Cherbourg has opted for a jade green as original as it is refined.

The grey, beige or brown umbrella, chic and refined

From anthracite gray to dark brown, beige or mocha, these neutral shades with their mineral spirit are the epitome of sobriety. At once natural and sophisticated, they impose a certain softness. Eternally chic and the right tone for an umbrella, they remain an excellent way of adding color to an outfit without overdoing it.

Yellow or orange umbrellas for a touch of whimsy

To make sure you don't go unnoticed in the crowd, let yourself be inspired by the dynamism of tonic, tangy hues. Alongside models from the Le Parapluie de Cherbourg collection, such as the umbrella used by Lupin in the French series, these bright hues also spice up the Milady in orange moire and the Saint-James with its nautical spirit.

The red umbrella, communicative energy

The red palette conveys a message of strength and self-confidence. The color of love par excellence, but also of revolution, this strong color symbolizes a certain audacity. Whether you opt for a bright, sparkling red umbrella or a deep, racy burgundy model, the choice is yours!

The distinguished charm of a white umbrella

Symbolically strong, white colors, including ivory and ecru, are traditionally associated with weddings. But white isn't just for weddings. This delicate hue looks great on both men's and women's umbrellas and parasols, and can be found on many of Le Parapluie de Cherbourg's classic or collector's models.

The multicolored umbrella

And let's not forget multicolored umbrellas! Printed or embroidered, they come in all styles and an infinite variety of graphic themes to personalize your look.

Le parapluie de Cherbourg has chosen to celebrate the 50th anniversary of D-Day by creating the D-Day model, a blue umbrella entirely embroidered with white motifs. Still paying homage to Normandy, discover another model just as emblematic and deliciously retro, the fruit of our collaboration with the Kiplay Vintage brand.

Is your heart set on a plain or printed umbrella? L'Inséparable, our mixed umbrella with contrasting embroidery, is the perfect compromise. As befits its name, it's also available in a children's version, so that everyone can enjoy their own bubble of happiness.

Finally, all Cherbourg Umbrella models can be embroidered with your initials, tone-on-tone or in a different color for even greater originality.
